Compensation Overview
This role is base + uncapped commission, with a paid training ramp and multiple layers of upside. Here's the full breakdown.
Base Salary
$30,000 $45,000 base, depending on experience. Big Red Jelly also has a professional development pathway to grow your base over time but commission is by far the fastest and biggest lever for growing your total income.
Monthly Quotas
Total New Revenue (primary metric)
$42,000
New Project Revenue (websites, brand, projects)
$20,000
New Grow Revenue (1st month payment on Grow contracts)
$20,000
New Hosting Revenue
$2,000
Commission Structure
Project payments under $10,000
10%
Project payments $10,000 or more
15%
Grow / recurring clients ongoing monthly
5% recurring
Grow clients 1st month payment (accelerated rate)
15%
Hosting sign-ups
$75$200 per sign-up
The Grow 1st-month rate is intentionally double the standard recurring rate it rewards landing long-term contracts, not just one-off projects. After month one, reps continue earning 5% recurring for the lifetime of the client engagement, building a growing residual income stream on top of new sales.
Recurring Income: Why Grow Deals Are a Big Deal
Every Grow client you close keeps paying you 5% every single month for as long as that client stays active not just in year one, but for the life of the engagement. That means your income isn't just what you close this month; it's a growing annuity stacked on top of new sales. The table below illustrates how this compounds over a first year (assuming quota is maintained after ramp, and for simplicity, assuming no client churn actual churn will lower these figures somewhat, but the mechanism is the same: the longer you're here, the bigger your residual base gets).

$9,500
Summed across all 12 months, recurring commission alone adds roughly $50,000 in Year 1 on top of new-business commission. And it keeps compounding: by the start of Year 2, that $210,000 book is already generating recurring commission before a single new deal is closed that year.
Commission Accelerator & Milestone Bonuses
Commission Accelerator: Hit your full annual quota early, and your commission rate increases by an additional 2 percentage points across every category for the remainder of the year for example, 10%12%, 15%17% (including the Grow 1st-month rate), and 5%7% on your recurring book. If you hit your $504,000 annual quota by month 10, that boost applies to everything you close and everything already recurring for the last two months of the year.
Club Bonuses cash bonuses awarded based on total revenue generated for the year:
$75,000 in annual revenue generated
75K Club
$100,000 in annual revenue generated
100K Club
$150,000 in annual revenue generated
150K Club
$200,000 in annual revenue generated

Exact cash bonus amounts per club tier to be finalized by BRJ leadership.
Ramp Schedule (Paid Training)
Month 1
Paid training. No quota.
Month 2
Hit 50% of full monthly quota ($21,000 total new revenue)
Month 3+
Exceed full monthly quota ($42,000+ total new revenue)
On-Target Earnings (OTE)
Below is illustrative OTE math based on the quotas and commission structure above, assuming a roughly even mix of sub-$10K and $10K+ projects, and an estimated 1013 hosting sign-ups per month to hit the $2,000 hosting quota.
New Project Revenue ($20,000 @ blended ~12.5%)
~$2,500
New Grow Revenue ($20,000 @ 15% 1st-month rate)
~$3,000
Hosting (~1013 sign-ups @ $75$200)
~$1,500
Estimated Monthly Commission at Full Quota
~$7,000
New-business commission (Months 112, with ramp)
~$73,500
Recurring commission (compounding Grow book, Year 1)
~$50,000
Total Year 1 Commission
~$123,500
Base Salary
$30,000 $45,000
Estimated Year 1 OTE (with ramp)
~$153,500 $168,500
This Year 1 estimate assumes zero client churn for simplicity real-world attrition will lower the recurring portion somewhat. It also excludes the commission accelerator and Club bonus payouts, both of which are additional upside on top of these numbers. Year 2 and beyond compound further still: reps carry their existing recurring book into the new year and keep adding to it, so total earnings potential continues to grow with tenure assuming quota is maintained and clients are retained at a reasonable rate.
